Oh F*. Trying to get out of an iced over downhill driveway I managed to kill my poor dear car's transmission.A solid grinding noise, and lots of power loss going up the hill. Damn. Had to put it in neutral, to slide back down the hill and into the the same driveway.My feet however, still work, and I have way too many layers of clothing, and still lots of food in the fridge, and a short supply of money to get me through the end of the month.I know that life is a series of challenges, some we make for ourselves, and some are just random and there is no sense cursing them, but my challenge now is circumventing, and curing them.But first, i owe a big apology to the poor car, which I strained to it's breaking point trying to get out of the damn driveway. I should have just waited.Now I will have to wait a bit more. And... get more exercise walking.﻿

**I'm just going to quote from a message I wrote to a friend, and it explains a bit about how I talk, and sometimes... think. That is when I do that. By way of explanation, not excuse, sometimes I slide into 'social meme' talk, which does, now that you poin...﻿

Mommy's Going AstrayI checked in with my mom after I heard that the Adirondaks had been cursed with some flooding. My immediate thought was "Did my childhood home get swept away by yet another storm of water?" It almost was, once, during hurricane Irene. But it was not a rains...﻿

Stopped on 18th street to buy some fish. Before we even got out of the car, a couple people came up and tried to hustle us. Then the police came and WE were arrested for 'loitering, with intent to purchase illegal substance.' Handcuffed and carted to jail.
NEVER go to Irvington if you are white. You will get screwed.

Tech Designo provides a lot of services besides just 'computer repair' - they also create websites for businesses, can do on-location photoshoots and can create brochures and print collateral to compliment the website work for advertising, as well as computer networking and system consulting. The results are professional and pricing is very reasonable. Tech Designo also can also provide services above and beyond just web, print and repair... the owner can look at your business and take an overall 'holistic' approach, which is very refreshing in B2B technical services. I have worked with the owner in the past and can vouch for his and his staff's ability to adapt their services to a customer's needs. He adds a level of personal touch that you don't often see. I highly recommend them.

Bill C came to our home right on time, and took a quick look at an upstairs leaky toilet. He write me three different price options, taking into account work that may have needed to be done. Within a few minutes or saying "OK" I turned off the water, and Bill went right to work, and in no time had the throne removed, and explained to me what was the matter- I already had some idea, but there was more to it than that.
Within a short time he repaired the issues, and cleaned up the area, even caulking around the base of the throne and all the time, was quick, efficient, polite and .. as the company name says... VERY professional. No questions who I will be asking for with any other plumbing issues that come up here. I called the right place. Thank you Bill!
